QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nicely done...this was interesting to review at first glance. The article meets the length requirement, with a readable prose size of 3,676 characters. All material is appropriately sourced. I had some initial concerns about the offline citation, but I was able to verify it through the academic database at . The article maintains a neutral tone, and a check with WP:EARWIG shows no copyright or plagiarism issues. The hook is not bad for me and properly cited. QPQ has been completed, so this nomination is good to go. (I also want to recommend for promoters to place this in an image slot.) Hteiktinhein (talk) 01:59, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
